Many groups are signing up to adopt a page. We need your help in order to resolve some important questions&nbsp;about the relative roles that [[FamilySearch Wiki:Moderator|Moderators]] and Adopters ought to play and how they can work together. These questions and discussions are on the new&nbsp;[http://forums.familysearch.org/en/forumdisplay.php?f=81 FamilySearch Wiki Contributors' Corner forum].

Hi Familyhart! My wife Tammy and I have decided to start working on Bedford County PA pages together on Sundays. Is there anything you're thinking about at the statewide level that we should know about, like the use of div nav bars vs. template nav bars, or that kind of thing?

Just trying to link up again. There are some discussions going on in the forums about what county pages should look like, and I wanted to link up with you to see what your views are before I start plowing that field in PA. [[User:RitcheyMT|RitcheyMT]] 02:28, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
